Mount Zulia (or Lotholia) is in the Karamoja region in the north-east of Uganda in the Kidepo Valley National Park. Mount Morungole and the Labwor and Dodoth Hills, which reach heights in excess of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), are nearby.[2] Mount Zulia is 2,149 metres (7,051 ft) high.[1]
The Toposa people of Eastern Equatoria say that they originated in the Lotholia Mountains, moving away during a severe drought that killed both people and animals.[3] The forests of the mountain are partly protected by the Mount Zulia Forest Reserve.[4]
